I hope you all had a spook-tacular Halloween! Ours was very special and the trick-or-treaters we had all looked amazing in their costumes!

Last year I dressed up as a spooky broken doll and the year before that I was evil Alice so this year I decided to change it up a bit and be... a brutal maniac nurse covered in blood.

I put it together pretty quickly, in just a few hours, so it's not lined or anything. I used the pattern from my coat so I could wear it over my clothes and to get that double breasted look.
The blood splatters are on separate patches and tacked on so it can easier get more or less bloody.

What were you for halloween?

    Ta. I'm not really that quick, I cut a few sneaky corners since it's a costume... and I didn't iron it so that saved time too! ha ha

    Great costume! Putting the bloody patches on separately was good thinking, now you can use the basic dress in another way perhaps. I'd love to see your broken dolly costume, any pictures?

    The doll one was like this:

    Not very imaginative I'm afraid!

    I originally did the patches seperately in case they didn't dry in time. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention.
